LONDON – Revising for texts and exams can be a stressful business.
This week in Britain, 10- and 11-year-old students will be sitting their Year 6 SATs tests.

These tests – the final ones kids sit before leaving Primary School – have come under fire recently. A recent survey found that 90% of children felt a pressure to do well (and over a quarter of children surveyed described themselves as “stressed” by upcoming exams), while a parent-led campaign called “LET our KIDS be KIDS” kept thousands of children out of school for the day last week in protest.
In the run-up to SATs, Mrs Thom of Buckleberry Primary School in Reading set her class some homework to get them prepared -- but it probably wasn’t what they were expecting.
That letter was shared on community Facebook page Eyfs Matters, where it quickly drummed up over 60,000 shares in two days.
The homework was very well received among parents.
Someone else chipped in with a similar letter, too.
Keep up the good work, teachers.
